Celebrating Our Class of 2020
Plano Senior High School is happy to announce many ways we will be celebrating the Senior Class of 2020! We know this has been a very difficult spring for our seniors. We as a campus and district want to make sure that we do all we can in these difficult times to remember and celebrate all the seniors have accomplished.
In the month of May and into the summer, we have several events planned virtually, over social media, and in person (keeping in line with all government guidelines for social distancing).
Below is an inclusive list of ways the district and Plano Senior High plan on celebrating our #PSHSSeniors2020.
Thank you for helping us celebrate our 2020 PSHS Seniors!!

Theme Days at Plano Senior High
Each Friday of May we will have a unique way to promote our seniors through social media. We will have videos and pictures to share through the Plano Senior Twitter page @PSHSWildcats each Friday. We encourage you to share your pictures on twitter and tag @PSHSWildcats including the following hashtag so that the district can share these pictures as well: #PSHSSeniors2020
Facebook Frames: Facebook users, you can add a frame to your profile picture to celebrate the Plano Senior High School Class of 2020, customized by the district especially for:
May 1: "All about Me... My Senior Year!!”
Students are encouraged to wear something that best represents you such as a club shirt or sports uniform. Take a picture with your yard sign or showing off what you do. Can we get a high kick???!
Senior Shout Outs: We are asking parents to Tweet shout outs about your seniors. Tweet us @PSHSWildcats and use the #PSHSSeniors2020 hashtag so that Plano Senior High and the district will be able to retweet those shout outs.
May 8: "Oh, the Places You Have Been”
We ask you Tweet out your favorite memories from your time in Plano ISD and your senior year to @PSHSWildcats and use the #PSHSSeniors2020 hashtag so Plano Senior High and the district will be able to retweet those shout outs.
We are hoping to celebrate great memories from your Elementary, Middle and High School days.
Wear something on Friday that reminds you of that special time in your Plano ISD journey.
May 15: “Doorway to the Future” Senior Door Day
Seniors, along with their families, are encouraged to decorate their front door with memorabilia from school, pictures, and items reflecting your years in PISD to celebrate graduating from high school.

May 22: ”Oh, the Places You’ll Go”
Our 2020 Seniors will go on to so many places in the coming year. Take a picture that represents your next steps after high school. Example: If it's college, take a picture with your college shirt.
